GET Melamine: San Francisco-based company implements eco program with GET eco containers

In San Francisco, like most other American cities, many people eat out or order takeout almost five days a week. Unsurprisingly, that adds up to a lot of empty containers—on average, someone who always brings leftovers home might throw out more than 300 boxes in a year.

A new startup hopes to change that pattern. GO Box SF, an offshoot of a company first launched in Portland, Oregon, wants to help every restaurant offer reusable containers instead.
